For this week’s Meal Prep, I’m making individual servings of classic Shepherd’s Pie! One of my family’s favorite meals, Shepherd’s Pie has become a part of our weekly rotation. My daughter requests it all the time and I love the everything about this meal – not only is it packed with nutrition, but it’s the ultimate comfort food and easily made Keto, Paleo, and Whole30 friendly.

Typically, if I’m making this recipe for dinner, I bake the pie the old fashioned way in a large baking dish with the meat mixture on the bottom and mashed potatoes on top. For something different, I thought it would be fun to make individual bowls of deconstructed Shepherd’s Pie. I’m always looking for meal prep ideas that will make life a little easier throughout the week! To make it even easier, I took a little help from the Instant Pot and made the mashed potatoes in a fraction of the time while the meat mixture was cooking.

The savory turkey and veggie mixture is layered with my favorite dairy free Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes for a delicious grab and go meal. These bowls are perfect for individual lunch servings. Just pop in the microwave for a minute or two and done! Of course this can be prepared the traditional way all together in large casserole dish for dinner.

Instructions

Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add carrots, onions, and celery. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until veggies are beginning to soften.

Add garlic, turkey, and seasoning to the skillet. Break up turkey and cook until browned.

Stir in tomato paste, coconut aminos, broth, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes, until most of the liquid is evaporated. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Split the turkey mixture and potatoes evenly between 4 containers. Seal and refrigerate until ready to use.

For lunch on the go, just remove lid and microwave for 1 minute or until hot.

If preparing for dinner, place meat mixture in a large casserole dish and spread mashed potatoes on top. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Broil for the last few minutes for a golden crust if desired.
